Lentil Soup

www.xawaash.com

The moment we tasted the hot bowl of lentil soup in one of our favourite restaurants in Istanbul, we decided it was going to be the next recipe to post. That day, we had just finished a long walking tour of Sultanahmet, including a visit to the Grand Bazaar. Sultanahmet is the soul of old Istanbul and we thoroughly enjoyed the sightseeing. It was early evening and the weather was moderately cold and we were hungry by then.

The lentil soup was very delicious and it had all the spices and flavours that we love. Apart from the ground black pepper in the soup, none of the other spices added any heat. The soup was served with freshly-baked bread and it was a great start for an amazing Turkish meal.

Yey, have tried this but did not blend as i like a bit of coarse texture, it was delish.. thanks again.. I seem to be missing to check out this page as i can check you out at Google+ and You tube, well it is great to be back here to read the story behind each dish.

It is always a good idea to check the website. Sometimes we elaborate on the recipes since the videos are meant to be short. We strongly recommend that you read the recipe direction on the website for useful tips. Thank you for taking the time to comment.

Thank you very much for your comment. Yes, you can definitely add potato. In many parts of the Middle East, potatoes are added. Finely dice 1 potato and add it along with the carrot. The potato will thicken the soup so you will need to add hot water to thin it to the consistency you prefer.
